Chapter 21 Mountains of Dead Souls
As we all know, knife intention, sword intention, and spear intention are all manifestations of martial arts will, and the three have something in common.
In the past, Gu Yuan's self-sustaining soul was naturally powerful, and he was diligent in practicing any martial arts, but he still had no clue about the sword intention.
It always feels like being shrouded in some kind of fog.
No, after seeing Huo Lingzi's sword intention, he instantly felt enlightened.
Things that were previously obscure seemed to have clues.
As a result, he slowed down the frequency of tasks.
Begin to comprehend the meaning of the sword with all your heart.
Anyway, the inner disciple only needs to complete one task every month, and the spiritual stones in his hand are enough for cultivation for the time being.
Another month has passed.
On this day, within a hundred feet area centered on Guyuan Courtyard, the vitality of heaven and earth suddenly began to move, creating a scene of an approaching rain and changing winds and clouds.
Slowly, slowly, it circled around the entire yard, shrank and gradually sank. Form a vitality funnel.
"Hey, someone is making a breakthrough."
Gu Yuan's courtyard is in the inner disciple courtyard of Feitian Demon Sect. Almost every once in a while, someone breaks through here.
Therefore, I am no stranger to the vision of breakthroughs in heaven and earth.
The vitality funnel became smaller and smaller, and finally penetrated into the pavilion, shaking the roof of the pavilion to pieces.
On the stone bench in the pavilion, Gu Yuan's face turned red and white after inhaling a huge amount of heaven and earth vitality. The sharp air flow moved around him three feet away, and he lost control from time to time, leaving the already overwhelmed pavilion full of holes. .
The majestic vitality of heaven and earth circulated crazily in Gu Yuan's body, and was then refined by the third-turn heavy energy technique.
At a certain moment, a spherical transparent airflow spread, and the dilapidated pavilion finally exploded.
Almost at the same time, Gu Yuan's Dantian grew in size, the amount of Qi increased rapidly, and the quality of Qi increased linearly, which was clearly a sign that his cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Condensation Realm and his skills had greatly improved.
"The eighth level of the third level of the Chongyuan Gong, the middle stage of the Ningzhen Realm."
Gu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of surprise in his voice.
His skill was broken through to the seventh level before he carried out the task of delivering a message to Taoist Black Crow.
Originally, he thought that it would take two to three months, or even longer, to break through to the eighth level.
But in the past month, in addition to completing the monthly task quota, he devoted almost all his energy to comprehending the sword's intention.
As a result, the sword intention was not understood, but instead, the cultivation level became more and more refined. At the moment when the cultivation level broke through the middle stage of the Condensation Realm, the third-turn heavy energy skill broke through to the eighth level.
"Is it because I have touched the edge of the sword's will?"
Gu Yuan vaguely remembered the introduction in the original book that a swordsman who understood the meaning of the sword could keep his combat power at its peak at all times and kill any factors that were not conducive to the battle.
Huolingzi, the elder of Huolingdian, also mentioned this to him when he showed him the intention of the sword.
He once told him that his strength was not as good as that of Taoist Black Crow, but after comprehending the meaning of the sword, his cultivation progressed extremely quickly, and he became much more relaxed in cultivation, and no longer had distracting thoughts.
Although Gu Yuan has not understood the true meaning of the sword, he has never stopped studying the meaning of the sword for more than a year. He was inspired by Huo Lingzi half a month ago and has touched the edge of the meaning of the sword. .
"It seems so."
After thinking about it, Gu Yuan only found this explanation.
But no matter what, it is undoubtedly a good thing for Gu Yuan to improve his cultivation and skills at the same time. Now his strength cannot even be controlled by himself. If possible, he really wants the inner disciple ranking competition to be held as soon as possible. He can also verify his own strength.
"Forget it, don't be afraid of being late if you have a good meal. There are still two months left for the inner disciple ranking competition. Since you want to participate, you must get the first place. Just rely on the cultivation of the middle stage of the Condensation Realm and the eighth level of the third-turn heavy energy skill. It's not enough. You must also understand the sword intention and improve your cultivation to the peak of the middle stage of the Condensation Realm. Otherwise, you will definitely not be a match for Wu Liangyu." Gu Yuan shook his head and quickly made up his mind.
But then again, the sword's intention is not so easy to understand, and it is still within just two months.
Then I thought that after the Inner Disciple Ranking Competition ends, there will be another Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition in two months,
Gu Yuan's heart became more and more urgent.
"Do we really need to find another way?"
The alternative approach mentioned by Gu Yuan is naturally Ye Chen's method of integrating sword moves in the original novel.
For now, what he lacks the most is his foundation. If his foundation is not deep enough, he will naturally be unable to comprehend the meaning of the sword.
Although he has completely mastered the Eclipse Sword Technique, it is still something that belongs to his predecessors.
Although Gu Yuan has thoroughly mastered this swordsmanship, there is nothing of his own in it.
The fusion of sword moves is undoubtedly a good way to quickly enhance your foundation.
This can quickly improve his swordsmanship.
The reason why Gu Yuan was unwilling to do this in the past.
That's because he doesn't want to imitate Ye Chen.
After all, in this world that emphasizes martial arts and will, although learning from others can quickly improve your strength, the later you get to the later stages, the more you will limit yourself.
Because from ancient times to the present, it has not been heard that people who learn from others can surpass their predecessors.
The prison king who inherited the mantle of the prison ancestor is a good example.
"No, I can't continue to be entangled like this. If I continue to break up, I will be confused. Besides, methods are always just methods. Who can guarantee that no one before Ye Chen has quickly improved his swordsmanship through fusion of sword moves? ”
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan's eyes suddenly became firm, he no longer hesitated, straightened his clothes, picked up his sword and walked towards the courtyard.
Ten days later, Gu Yuan finally had a clue about the fusion sword move, so after accepting a mission to kill a monster, he rushed towards the Dead Souls Mountains behind the sect with his sword in hand.
In the afternoon, Gu Yuan arrived at the outskirts of the Soul Mountain Range.
First and second level demonic beasts began to appear. This kind of ferocious place fell behind. No ordinary Ningzhen realm warrior dared to come in. Even Gu Yuan became cautious. He put his palm on the hilt of his sword to deal with the danger that might come at any time.
Along the way, Gu Yuan did not encounter too high-level monsters. The occasional third-level monsters that appeared were killed by him with a single sword.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed. Gu Yuanlu has killed many monsters one after another, harvested a large amount of monster materials, and has also made great progress in fusion sword moves.
On this day, Gu Yuan suddenly stopped and his true energy poured into his ears.
"Something is coming."
The biggest difference between warriors and ordinary people is the use of true energy. No matter how strong the five senses of ordinary people are, there are limits, but warriors can use true energy to enhance their five senses. At this time, Gu Yuan can hear louder sounds several miles away by relying on true energy. movement.
As for the soul power, although it is clearer, Gu Yuan can only perceive things within a radius of three hundred meters at most.
As one's cultivation and age increase, although the range of perception also increases, it is very weak. Generally, the range of perception increases by a few dozen meters every time one advances to a small realm or grows one year older.
Therefore, in most cases, Gu Yuan still fights like ordinary Ningzhen realm warriors, using his true energy to enhance his five senses.
